Mysterious journey

inner city

The inner city, a total of four blocks, is now in a state of depression.

The originally dense crowd was much smaller, and many of them were wearing gauze bandages.

In the temporary hospital, Goethe and Andy walked into the white corridor of the hospital together.

Both of them were trying their best to adjust the expressions on their faces, trying not to let Jessica see any clues.

"Don't worry, it will be fine, everything will be fine." Goethe patted Andy on the shoulder.

"Maybe." Andy smiled unnaturally.

Walking to Jessica's ward familiarly, Goethe pushed open the room and was shocked to see a man in gray robe sitting in front of Jessica's hospital bed, peeling apples for her.

He saw Jessica looking at the two of them with a smile, but had no intention of explaining.

When he heard the door open, the man in gray robe stood up and turned around, showing a soft and handsome smile.

"Long time no see, Goth, Andy."

"Garen!!??" Goethe's voice suddenly rose a few pitches, pointing at Garen with a face full of surprise and excitement.

Andy also looked surprised.

"Garen, aren't you already?"

"Do you think I'm dead?" Garen laughed. "I hid under a ruin and lived for a long time on the food found inside. Then I secretly escaped back when the monster was attracted by the fighting in the inner city. ." When he talked about coming back, he looked emotional and seemed a little scared.

Goethe opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he didn't make any more sound. He just stepped forward and gave Garen a firm hug.

Andy laughed happily on the side.

"It's good to be back safely."

During this period, Jessica's incident caused the two of them to fall into a serious depression. Now they didn't expect that Garen was still alive. The originally gloomy mood suddenly became lighter.

Goethe patted Garen hard on the back.

"Don't make me lose any more friends." His voice was low.

"What's wrong?" Garen frowned. "what happened?"

Goethe hesitated to speak. Garen immediately knew that it was not the right time to speak, so he smiled.

The three of them sat in the ward and chatted about the recent developments. Jessica sat aside and listened quietly, with just a faint smile.

The four friends who were once together are now finally together, not a single one is missing. This is obviously something worth celebrating.

But unlike the heartless Goth, Andy secretly felt that the Galleon who came back this time was not as simple as he introduced himself. This former companion seems to have a slight sense of mystery.

After chatting with Jessica for a while, the three of them got up and went out together, found a restaurant and sat down, each ordering a standard meal.

Galen crossed his fingers on the table and looked at Goethe and Andy opposite him, his expression quickly calming down.

"Okay, can you tell me what's going on now?" His voice was low and he stared at the two of them calmly.

The atmosphere suddenly became heavy.

Goethe and Andy's expressions were a little unnatural.

Suddenly Garen seemed to notice something was wrong, and his eyes were fixed on Goethe.

"No! What's wrong with your left eye, Goethe!?" His voice suddenly became a little nervous. In fact, he had already recognized Goethe as a friend from the bottom of his heart, but now it seems that the situation is somewhat beyond his expectation, and the history is vague. There was a slight deviation.

"Left eye?" Andy was also stunned for a moment and looked at Goethe's left eye. "What happened to the left eye?"

Goethe turned away unnaturally.

"It's nothing, I'm just feeling a little uncomfortable. I haven't rested well recently." He hesitated a little and made up an explanation casually.

Garen seemed to have discovered something, and his face suddenly darkened.

"Don't move!" He stood up and reached out to pull away Goethe's left hand that was covering his eyes.

Both of them immediately saw Goethe's left eye clearly. The color of that eye was not Goethe's original color at all, but a lifeless glow with a hint of dark red. Those are prosthetic eyes!

Goethe remained silent and let his two friends stare at his left eye.

"It's not a big deal. In fact, completing the mission and saving your life is pretty good." He whispered hesitantly.

The atmosphere in the three-person room suddenly became more dull.

Garen looked at Goethe with an unspeakable feeling in his heart.

"Goth, are you doing it for Jessica?"

Andy on the side suddenly clenched his fists and lowered his head.

Goethe gave a relaxed smile.

"A few days ago, I was injured by a monster in my left eye, and then I came back and found that I couldn't see. Madam Madeleine made me a prosthetic eye. It's actually nothing. One eye is enough, right? You guys Don't be so serious, both of you, and relax, it's rare that we all get together and everyone is fine, isn't it great?"

Garen didn't expect that this would happen to Goethe not long after he left.

Although he wanted to rely on Goethe to continuously obtain potential points, he did not want to obtain them in this way.

"Tell me about Jessica." He sighed and sat down again.

"Jessica is fine, believe me." Goethe waved his hand, "I found a doctor from the Duke's Palace to treat her. Can a disease no matter how difficult it is, still be difficult for people from the Duke's Palace? It's okay, Jesse will soon The card will be fine, and then the four of us will form a team together, with all the members of the Black Panther team, and then turn the tide of the battle in one fell swoop. Finally, we will receive the Duke's award, the royal canonization, and reach the pinnacle of life in one fell swoop. Become a big member of the party. Just think about it. I feel very excited!" Goethe showed a daydreaming expression.

"You daydream." Andy couldn't help but punch him.

For a moment, the three of them couldn't help but laugh.

The dinner plates were also served at this time, and the atmosphere was finally no longer so heavy. The three of them chatted about each other's situation and plans. Among them, Garen was the one who was asked the most questions, but with his experience and temperament, he would not notice anything from the two of them. He directly brought out the words he had prepared in advance and added some details along the way, which was perfect.

Even Andy, who was more cautious, was fooled.

When the three of them were eating, another young man in purple clothes came in at the door of the restaurant. The man had a handsome appearance and a charming smile on his face. He glanced at the sparse restaurants and walked directly in the direction of the Goth trio.

"Doctor Alilan!" Goethe was the first to see the man in purple and stood up quickly. "Why are you here? Come! Sit down and eat together."

Andy also stood up, with a warm and sincere smile on his face. He invited the man to sit down and eat together, and then greeted the waiter in the restaurant.

Garen put a polite smile on his face and looked at the man in purple. Vaguely, he felt a familiar aura from this man.

"I'm a member of the Black Panther Team, Garen." He stretched out his hand.

The man named Elilan also smiled and stretched out his hand, shaking it gently with Garen.

"The full-time doctor responsible for Jessica's condition, Ali Lan. Nice to meet you."

"Feel the same."

With just a little contact, both of them noticed that the other seemed to be hiding something.

In other words, both of them, in their own unique ways, sensed the depth hidden beneath the other's appearance.

The two hands shook lightly and then separated.

After Alilan sat down, Goethe and Andy began to ask about Jessica's condition, while Garen sat aside and listened quietly to the three people talking.

The meal lasted for more than an hour before it ended slowly.

Goethe and Andy invited Garen to live with them, but he declined.

After several successive wars, the population of the inner city has been greatly reduced, and there are empty houses everywhere that no one lives in. The totem master does not need any money at all. He can move in directly as long as he registers with the clerk.

Garen randomly found a well-decorated house and lived in it.

Early the next morning, he went directly to the hospital where Jessica was staying and found the ward doctor in charge of Jessica.

"What's the condition of Jessica No. 128? Are you hers?" The doctor looked at Galen in front of him with some hesitation.

In the office, the middle-aged female doctor was holding a report and was about to go out when she was intercepted by the man in gray robe.

"Yes, I am her friend, but she and the other friends hid it from me and did not tell me the truth. I want to know the real situation." Garen nodded seriously.

"Is it true?" The female doctor frowned. "Jessica's patient's condition is very strange. It seems to be a rare disease. We can basically only rely on anti-inflammatory drugs and painkillers to maintain her life. But even so, she only has less than half a year left." Perhaps it was because he had seen too many separations and separations during this period, but the doctor's expression just looked a little regretful.

"I'm sorry, Jessica is a very nice girl."

"It's okay. Thank you, doctor." Gallon's heart suddenly trembled. He stood at the door and watched the doctor quickly walk away, and was surrounded by several nurses who came to greet him.

He walked towards Jessica's ward with heavy steps.

In the early morning, the sky is not completely bright yet.

Gallon stood outside the glass partition of the ward and quietly looked at Jessica sleeping inside.

"Reality and history have completely deviated from each other. What will happen next?" He felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

Pushing open the ward door, he sat next to Jessica, and immediately saw her open her eyes and look at him calmly.

"Didn't you go out with your brother and the others yesterday? Why are you here so early today?" Jessica smiled and lay down halfway.

"I came to take a look alone. I didn't expect you to have a very troublesome disease. I have also studied medicine before, and I just wanted to come and check it for you in person." Garen replied in a low voice.

"Do you know how to heal?" Jessica wanted to laugh, but couldn't help but cough.

"Okay, okay, go to sleep quickly, trust me." Gallon flicked his finger, and an invisible strong wind suddenly pressed an acupuncture point on Jessica's neck.

That is an acupuncture point that provides blood supply to the brain and affects sleep. It was learned when practicing esoteric martial arts. Strong force can kill people, light force can also cure diseases.

In fact, almost everyone who practices secret martial arts must know some knowledge about human body medicine. Gallon has reached its peak, and his understanding of the structure of the human body and the movement of qi and blood can basically be regarded as a master of medicine.

Jessica yawned and seemed to feel a little sleepy again.

"Okay, I'll sleep a little longer. I don't know why I feel so sleepy all of a sudden." She lay down again, covered herself with the quilt and quickly fell into a deep sleep.

Garen stood up, looked around, and after hearing no movement, he lifted Jessica's quilt.

He stretched out his hand to hold Jessica's head, and a trace of platinum energy slowly penetrated into the back of the neck, feeling the flow of energy and blood inside the head.

Then check the heart, internal organs, and other physical conditions.

After some inspection, Garen frowned and sat down again.

"There is no abnormality in the qi and blood, just a little weak. The five internal organs are also normal, even much healthier than the average person. What is going on?"

At this time, bursts of footsteps gradually came from outside, very rhythmic.

Garen quickly stood up. No matter how good the relationship was, Jessica was now Goethe's girlfriend, so she still had to keep a certain distance.

He was about to turn around and leave, when suddenly, a vague silver light flashed across Jessica's face.

"This is this!!??" Garen suddenly froze on the spot. Where had he seen this silver light before! !

Click.

The ward door opened.

Dr. Alilan, dressed in purple, walked in with a smile.

"Huh? Mr. Gallon, are you there too?" He looked at Gallon's back with some surprise.
